Package: www.debian.org Version: unavailable; reported 2003-08-25 Severity: wishlist
Gentlemen, consider users looking for info on say lynx. http://packages.debian.org/lynx leads to http://packages.debian.org/unstable/web/lynx.html leads to "Download Page for lynx_2.8.4.1b-5_i386.deb on Intel x86 machines" leads to http://debian.linux.org.tw/debian/pool/main/l/lynx/lynx_2.8.4.1b-5_i386.deb But nowhere does the user see one speck of date information for this package, even down to the final click for a .deb. http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages2.pl?keywords=lynx&searchon=names&version=all&release=all (i.e. http://packages.debian.org/lynx) tells us byte size to the tenth of a kilobyte, etc. but totally doesn't give any "freshness dating" information. Sure, there, yes, are ways for the user to find date information, but you could consider pro-actively providing it.
